Why wouldn't they ?
Good chance of promotion for starters.


Why would some wealthy Norwegians want to 'invest' in a bankrupt 6th Division football club which is losing money hand over fist? Surely those long Norwegian winters must be depressing enough as it is?

Is it investment ?
Does anyone make a profit from football ? Has Fenty ?

Why would anyone e.g. own a racehorse when vast majority of owners lose money ?
Maybe you're right but I'm guessing it's maybe more than that.

As for losing money hand over fist, maybe they see potential, good fan base etc.

Of course it's all hypothetical who knows...
But other people are happy to "invest" though - Parker was, Fenty was.

Ken Bates, Doug Ellis and anyone at Arsenal who sold shares to the Uzbek or the American blokes are the only ones I can think of!

Trouble is now the damage has been done all over a bit of paranoia

If the damage has been done I can put it back up again

In all seriousness Tony if you have a problem I'd rather us sort it out over a pint

friday night in mcmenemys bar heard a rumour that parker and a norwegian consortium were planning a takeover of GTFC!Apparently there sitting tight at the moment hoping for town to survive this season in the blue square and go into administration during the summer,then taking their chance to takeover!Thought i mention it to see if anybody else had heard anything?


I might be wrong,  but then wouldn't Parker be effectively selling his £1 shares for a small proportion of their worth, then buying them again at a higher price?

i heard a rumour that we once attracted gates of 20k+, and that blundell park was a fortress and alot of teams feared coming here on cold tuesday nights. I also heard a rumour that around 20 years ago we fought our way from division four, and in 2 season's we was playing in a division known as the championship (division 2), were we often punched above our weight against massive teams like Birmingham, Boro, forest and the like, and we even got to wembley twice in the same season

sorry but my friends dad's brothers sister, who was once a tea lady at the park started this rumour, so please no slating me as i am only repeating what i have been told

A bit like someone giving a load of shares away for nothing.
